Hello, this is Global Bridge Network (GBN)!
We are going to give
a report of our ongoing project which is about ‘Environmental Protection through
Expanding Lemon grass growing and Education in Uganda’.
SORAK, GBN’s partner NGO, conducted school based
environmental education and awareness campaigns of
at least 300 children per school, in around 16 schools from July 3rd 2017 to
July 31st 2017.
Discussion with the children’s how to conserve the environment

School Children listening attentively environmental education |
The overall objective of the campaigns was to carry out and as well enable children to understand the importance of lemon grass growing and other ways of environmental conservation by informing them about the different ways of protection.
Contents covered
of the campaigns
- Display of rules in schools concerning environmental conservation
- The children to know their role in protecting the environment
- The need for children’s involvement in environmental conservation and capacity building towards environmental protection
- Emphasize lemon grass growing as a good measure to environmental degradation
The campaigns provided an opportunity to
SORAK in a way that, the school leading team and the children were

conservation

Explaining to the children how to grow lemon grass to protect the environment |
Besides that,
teachers pledged to display in classes the roles and importance of lemon grass
growing. Children were well contented and realized the
importance of lemon grass growing as a measure to environmental conservation.
After the campaign, one
student stated as follows,
“This education has really opened my eyes
as I didn’t know that lemon grass can not only protect
the environment but as well can enable my parents to get
money to buy me school scholastic materials.”
By sensitizing not only
women and youth but also children, about environmental conservation and income
generation through lemon grass growing, training can easily reach out to many other
households.
Please review the details in the reports
below,
To make a firm campaign, it is necessary to not only approach local community levels but also sub-county levels. We will report about the dialogue activity with sub-county officials in the next report!
Thank you so much and See you soon!
